A wealth of

Christmas trade is better, say all mer

is merely another way of expressing
the abounding prosperity of this must

of advertising The Tribune is carrying

self. No one knows where tbe buy to
the best advantage unless be reads The

reach the great buying class unless tbey

"You are palpably in error when you

TO WIND UP
AFFAIRS OF
Assets Will be Sold and
Purchasers Pay Remain
ing Labilities States
Reames. '
I Thero is every prospect thnt tho af
fairs of the Oregon Trust & Savings
bank will be wound up in the nenr fu
ture," said District Attorney A. E.
Reames, who hjis returned from a pro
tracted stay in Portland, where he hns
been Hiding in striyghtening out the af
fairs of the banks "Matters o in
such shape that before long Ilccejycr
Devlin will bo justified in asking for
the sale of the remaining assets nnd
liabilities. Enough money will be re
ceived frnmothe sale to pay out most
of thoylepositors, nnd the purchaser will
put up bonds to pay nil remnining in
debtedness within a year. "
It in understood, thnt one of the Port
land baulis is figuring on purchasing
the lense nnd business nnd working out
the securities of the failed bank. There
remuins in the vicinity of $1,000,000 of
indebtedness to depositors, hntf of
which is due the Home Telephone coin
pnny, which will probably take timo
certificates of deposit in tho purchas
ing bank, thus affording it time to
work out the bank's securities. Hnlf a
million ensh will be needed to complete
the denl.
Receiver Roddy of the Pacific & East
ern hns $80,000 in certificate of deposit
on the failed bioik. The purchasers of
the bank will lie compelled to ninko
good this amount. The milney ennnot
be distributed nnt.il the claims against'
tho railroad have been adjudicated by
